Week 15

The first one (concussion) looked like he slipped just before getting hit! I have only seen the end of the knee injury one, not the full play so not sure on that one!

It looked like a really bad attempt to slide, he should have just stepped out of bounds. It's not even about how he's getting hit, I'm not worried because of when he's getting hit.

My comparison with Vick wasn't to do with his QB style, more along the lines that he never plays 16 games.

I'm fairly confident that RG3 will play 16 games in the coming seasons. He's not getting constantly pounded on designed runs.

His two main injuries have been:

vs Falcons. Game tied 7-7 in the 3rd, 3rd and goal. Play breaks down and RG3 scrambles. He made a mistake by not sliding correctly or running out of bounds. That was his only rushing attempt in the game.

vs Baltimore. Losing 28-20 in the 4th (1:42 remaining), 2nd and 19. Pressures comes and he scrambles.

Both injuries have come from situations where he was taking a risk to try and win. He won't have that much more risk than the average QB going forward in my opinion. I didn't see his early games but from what I've read he used to be getting hit a lot. He's not doing that anymore, and it just seems like the media refuse to acknowledge how his injuries happened. They just want to compare him to Vick and Young.

he's not even dressing!

had a look at the sky sports live games for tomorrow (blog here)
im very confident on Packers @ Bears game i think and have placed my money down already

pretty happy with packers bet at -2.5 its a nice line

Chris Kuper, RG for Denver is out today. This is critical, he's a huge difference maker in our OL. Ramirez, his backup, is terrible so i expect to see Manning under consistent pressure and a faltering run game. Could tip the game to Baltimore if its tight.

That is some job improvement....

Suggs was reported as active 36 minutes ago...what's changed that?!

Nah think with how short handed they are he was going to go! Got a second opinion on the injury IIRC and said he could play with it....obviously still a risk for damaging it further!

We've got our issues too, Kuper is out, meaning Manning will be under repeated fire as his replacement Ramirez is a turnstile.

Ye have a lot of injuries though but id say theres at least a 50% chance we lose this.

Biggest injury concern for the Ravens is Ellerbe. He's been great this season. I have faith in our depth, after all the list of Ravens defenders cut loose who start for other teams is long, but a 4th/5th in depth chart ILB pairing... not great news.

Manning may have a great record against us, but his most recent outings haven't been great and this will be the best Ravens offense he'll have to counter.

This is the best Defence he's had though.

It is, but I don't think he'll be able to win in the same fashion as he has before (15-6, 17-15, 20-6). Ravens defense is going to bend big time today, but hopefully we won't break.

Zero chance Welker doesn't play. He's listed as questionable, but he usually he is so I'd ignore that.

Not trying to be a dick here, but I'm sure there's contracts in place, and even though it's terrible, they prob have to be honored...bit sickening!

What a horrendous start for Giants.
